You dont show your secret personality when youre awake because you can control your behavior, but when youre asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in.If you go to sleep on your back, youre a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You dont like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. Youre quite shy and you arent very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and youre always easily upset. Youre very stubborn(顽固的), but you arent very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time.If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so youre often defensive. Youre shy and you dont normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. Youre easily hurt.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weakness. Youre usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you dont often get depressedYou always say what you think even if it annoys people.41According to the writer, you naturally show your secret and real personality _.Aonly in a normal nightBonly when you go to sleepConly when you refuse to show yourself to the worldDonly when you change sleeping position42Maybe you dont want to make friends with a person who sleeps curled up. Why ?AHe/ She would rather be alone than communicate with you.BHe/ She is rarely ready to help you.CHe/She prefers staying at home to going out.DHe/She wouldnt like to get help from you.43It appears that the writer tends to think highly of the person who sleeps on one side because _.Ahe or she always shows sympathy for peopleBhe or she is confident, but not stubbornChe or she has more strengths than weaknessDhe or she often considers annoying peopleBWhen I told my family that I was thinking of taking a cooking job, the roars of laughter were rather discouraging. No one believed that I could cook at all, as I had never had a chance to practice at home. Our cook had ruled in the kitchen for thirty years and had an annoying tendency to regard the pans, stove and all the kitchen fittings as her own property.I once crept down there when I thought she was asleep in her room to try out an omelet(炒蛋). Noiselessly I removed a frying pan from its hook and the eggs from their cupboard. It was the pop of the gas that woke her, I think, for I was just breaking the first egg when a pair of slippered feet moved round the door and a scream of horror caused me to break the egg on the floor. This disaster upset her so much that she locked herself in the storeroom with all the food and we had to make our Sunday dinner of bananas.If the family werent going to be helpful, I would look for a job all by myself and not tell them about it till Id got one. I had seen an agency in a local paper, so as soon as there was no one about to say “Where are you going?” I rushed out of the house in search of it.I sat on the edge of a chair and could see my nose shining out of the corner of my eye. I thought perhaps it was a good thing; it might look more earnest. The woman at the desk examined me through her glasses. Having asked me a few questions, she told me that it would be difficult to get a job without experience. “But,” she said, “Ive got someone who needs a cook badly.” She wrote down a number, and my spirits went up as I took the slip of paper she held out to me, saying: “Ring up this day. She wants a cook. You would have to start tomorrow by cooking dinner for ten people. Could you manage that?”“Oh yes,” said I never having cooked for more than four in my life.44. Which of the following best describes the response of the authors family to her plan of taking a cooking job?A. Pleased. B. Doubtful.C. Uncomfortable.D. Positive.45.

The family had to have bananas for dinner that Sunday because _.A. the cook was on strike B. they preferred bananas to omeletC. the author cooked so badly D. no one in the family had cooking ability48.

Todays character education programs replace the “self-respect” movement through which children learned more about feeling good than being good. Now the programs are actually teaching children to do the right thing.The best middle level teachers feel they are responsible for educating the whole child, dealing not only with the intellectual development, but the social and emotional development of the student as well. This includes values education and the development of healthy character traits(特征).Some teachers are not comfortable teaching values, feeling it is best to leave the duty to those who have the knowledge to develop these traits in teenagers. Many teachers do it unconsciously. Every time English teachers teach a novel or social studies teachers discuss current events or leaders from history, they are teaching students about role models and values. Even health teachers teach it when they discuss having healthy lifestyles: if you develop good character traits in yourself, your life is less stressful and you are healthier. Many times teachers dont realize that they are teaching character development every time they talk to students about cheating or respecting others. Unluckily, some teachers still prefer to leave character development to others.Student activity advisers, and specifically student council advisers, are in the perfect position to develop activities that involve everyone in the school. A good adviser should develop the program around the six sides of character set forth by Character Counts: trustworthiness(值得信赖), responsibility, respect, fairness, caring, and citizenship. The adviser should first develop activities to further leadership and good character traits in student council members and then develop activities for the entire school.52. According to Thomas Lickona, one of the educational goal is to make children know _.A. how to respect themselvesB. how to help othersC. how to be goodD. how to do good deeds53. “the whole child” (in the 2nd paragraph) refers to one _.A. who has got a good development of healthy character traitsB. who has been developed intellectuallyC. who has got a good social and emotional developmentD. developed intellectually and morally with six good character traits54. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Children with good character traits in themselves are seldom stressed.B. Some teachers feel it hard to teach values.C. It is necessary to develop good character traits in student council members.D. It is unnecessary that activities should involve everyone in the school.55. Whats the main idea of the third paragraph?A. Values are taught on purpose. B. Values are taught unconsciously.C. Its important to teach values. D. Its uncomfortable to teach values.EMaybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Heres how:1)Plan your time carefully. When planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etcThen decide a good, regular time for studying. Dont forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.2)Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study areaKeep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television ! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.3)Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teacher says. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.4)Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes, Review the important points that your teacher is going to discuss t
